Abstract:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis is still very common in India as well as in other developing countries. The lesions are usually woolly, ill-defined opacities and may be associated with cavities. Multiple nodular discrete bilateral opacities affecting the lungs from base to apex, more in the lower zones is unusual in Pulmonary Tuberculosis. We report a case of a 55 year old male with bilateral multiple nodular opacities of varying sizes as evident on chest radiography presented with dry cough and one episode of haemoptysis, which initially raised a possibility of lung metastasis.

Abstract:

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease attacking lungs, triggering damage, and pulmonary dysfunction. Host cytokine responses will influence tuberculosis manifestations. The main host immune response is cellular immunity, and Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH). IFN-γ produced by Th-1, is a major cytokine acting to eliminate TB bacteria through macrophage activation. Chest radiography has an important value for the diagnosis of TB, especially in negative sputum smears. Radiological manifestations depend on several factors including host prior to TB exposure, age, and immune status. Sputum smear

Abstract:

Automatic bone segmentation from a chest radiograph is an important and challenging task in medical image analysis. However, a chest radiograph contains numerous artifacts and tissue shadows, such as trachea, blood vessels, and lung veins, which limit the accuracy of traditional segmentation methods, such as thresholding and contour-related techniques. Deep learning has recently achieved excellent segmentation of some organs, such as the pancreas and the hippocampus.

Abstract:

Abstract In diagnosing the aspiration of the foreign body (AFB) in children most important are: medical history, clinical signs and positive radiography of the lungs. Common dilemmas in the diff erential diagnosis are life-threatening asthma attacks or difficult pneumonia. Conventional rigid bronchoscopy (RB) is not recommended as a routine method. Virtual bronchoscopy (VB) can be a diagnostic tool for solving dilemmas. Fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) has a therapeutic stake in severe cases. Herein, we describe a girl, at the age of 6, who was hospitalized due to rapid bronchoconstriction and b

A 31 year old male presented with haemoptysis, fever and cough. Chest Radiography showed patchy consolidation with breakdown in lower lobe of left lung. Further evaluation revealed the presence of achalasia cardia that resulted haemoptysis due to aspiration pneumonia. This report highlights the uncommon initial presentation of achalasia cardia in the form of haemoptysis in a previously asymptomatic individual. Although haemoptysis occurs commonly due to pulmonary disorders, it may also be an initial symptom of some rare nonpulmonary disorder. Thorough workup with strict vigilance is extremely

Abstract:

SUMMARY A pulmonary cavity is a gas-filled area of the lung in the center of a nodule or area of consolidation and may be clinically observed by use of plain chest radiography or computed tomography. Cavities are present in a wide variety of infectious and noninfectious processes. This review discusses the differential diagnosis of pathological processes associated with lung cavities, focusing on infections associated with lung cavities. The goal is to provide the clinician and clinical microbiologist with an overview of the diseases most commonly associated with lung cavities, with attention

Clinical presentation is nonspecific, with "B" and respiratory symptoms. Also, patients were with advanced immunodeficiency at the time of diagnosis. Generally, chest radiography showed peripheral nodules or cavitary masses. Primary pulmonary lymphoma associated with AIDS is generally a high-grade B-cell n

Abstract:

Emphysema is one of the most common lung diseases in HIV+individuals. The pathogenesis of HIV-associated emphysema remains unclear; however, radiographic distribution and earlier age of presentation of emphysema in the lungs of HIV+patients are similar to deficiency of α1-antitrypsin (A1AT), a key elastase inhibitor in the lung. Reduced levels of circulating A1AT in HIV+patients suggest a potential mechanism for emphysema development. In the present study we asked if A1AT levels and activity in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) differ in HIV+and HIV−patients with and without emphysema. A

Abstract:

High levels of tuberculosis morbidity in the Russian Federation lead to the extensive use of X-ray diagnostics for the tuberculosis screening and assessment of the effectiveness of treatment. Digital radiography and computed tomography are traditionally used for the diagnostics of tuberculosis. These methods are associated with significant drawbacks: low specificity for radiography, high costs per examination, significant patient doses, and limited availability for computed tomography. As an additional method for the assessment of the effectiveness of the tuberculosis treatment it is possible

Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) may present as multiple pulmonary nodules mimicking lung metastases. Many asymptomatic cases of TB are detected incidentally on chest radiography, and patients are often negative for acid-fast bacilli staining and culture in spite of having active TB. It is important to know the imaging findings characteristic of pulmonary TB and its variant forms. Multiple pulmonary nodules were detected in an 80-year-old female during a medical checkup. TB was not suspected until her imaging findings worsened; however, in retrospect, centrilobular micronodules were observed amongst multiple

Several pulmonary diseases can manifest including interstitial pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary nodules or masses, and pleural effusion. Incidence of APT varies from 5–15% and is correlated to dosage, age of the patient, and preexisting lung disease.

Abstract:

Abstract Context.—Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is generally thought to be a marker of chronic airway rejection in patients who have undergone lung transplantation. Bronchoscopic biopsy specimens, by virtue of their small size, may sample only BO and not a lesion of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). A role for ongoing chronic infection or aspiration has also been suggested, and the distinction of these etiologies may be difficult clinically and pathologically. Objective.—To investigate the etiology of BO and BOOP in lung transplantation patients who had chronic aspiration.
